in this scenario, i'd just arp redirect the default gateway to all hosts
on the LAN, which works just fine (dsniff supports a one-way half duplex
TCP reassembly mode, so you'd only have to see client traffic).
there are other ways to intercept traffic at higher layers, including good
old ICMP redirects, and esp. the recent windows IRDP vulnerability.
something else i've considered (but haven't actually written up) is VLAN
sniffing on big Cisco switches by forging ISL messages. there are probably
many other ways to accomplish this...
